So, my 01 has everything else, including power locks, but no keyless entry, has anyone found a nice CHEAP keyless entry system that works well on a 1st gen? It's not a necessity so I don't care to break the bank on it.
should I just grab something off of ebay?

i just bought a 4 door actuator/ keyless entry at a local shop here in Winnipeg (Princess Auto) for $89 and installed everything in 6 hours. Keyless entry in all 4 doors using aftermarket system. What i learned was, try everything to work first by putting power to it (battery) before attempting to install it. Driver side first and test lock-unlock each time as you go along. Its been 7 months with 0 issues.

so, I got my keyless entry, it's very NOT pug n play. the directions are no good, and it says I need a relay that isn't included. We'll see how I feel about this once I get it installed. I'm no good with electronics!

I have a 2001 tacoma and there are not automatic locks already. all of these posts have been for trucks with automatic locks already (I think), what should I do?

Converting a 95 to have power locks

I remember reading a thread recently, under the above title, which may help you decide. I have a 2001 with manual locks and windows as well, and I will get around to changing mine after reading this.

We also have a 95 that didn't come with remotes. We later hooked the alarm and locks together, best thing we ever did! A lot of people don't remember what a PITA is was to use a key to get in! After a while you'd pay almost anything for keyless entry!! Hope this helps.
